90-day limit applies to all Schengen countries

What happens at the border
1
Arrive at Luxembourg Airport (LUX)
Luxembourg's only international airport. After landing, follow signs to 'Arrivals' and then 'Passport Control'. Queues are usually short (5–15 minutes).
2
Present your passport at the border
Hand over your Chilean passport. The officer will check your passport validity, may ask about your trip purpose, accommodation, and return ticket. Answer clearly and briefly.
3
Receive entry stamp
If everything is in order, the officer will stamp your passport with the entry date. This stamp marks the start of your 90-day Schengen stay. Keep the stamp visible — you'll need it when leaving.
4
Collect luggage and exit
After passport control, proceed to baggage claim, then through customs (green channel if nothing to declare). You're now in Luxembourg.

Frequently asked questions

No, the 90-day limit is strict for visa-free stays. If you want to stay longer, you must apply for a long-stay visa or residence permit from the Luxembourg immigration authorities before your 90 days expire. Overstaying can result in fines or a ban.
